Social Media Manager

Account Manager | Throughline Marketing

Full-time · Austin, TX (Remote + in-person shoots) · Starting at $20/hour

ABOUT THE ROLE

Throughline Marketing is a social and digital marketing agency. We help brands show up online with content that looks sharp, sounds like them, and actually moves the needle.

We're hiring an Account Manager: the person our clients work with every day. You'll create, shoot, post, and manage content for a range of brands, and you'll run each account like it's your own.

This is not a "post what we send you" job. We're looking for someone who can take a client, figure out what they need, and run with it from day one. If you love social media, have a strong eye for design, and are always thinking three steps ahead, keep reading.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Create content

• Make content across formats: Reels, Stories, carousels, static posts, blogs, emails, and newsletters
• Design graphics in Canva using each client's brand kit
• Create Reels that stop the scroll
• Write captions, blog posts, and emails in each brand's voice

Shoot on site

• Travel around Austin to client locations, events, and speaking engagements to capture photo and video on iPhone
• Plan shot lists ahead of time so one shoot fills weeks of content
• Run monthly batch-content sessions with clients

Run the accounts

• Build and own each client's content calendar, start to finish
• Send calendars for approval, gather feedback, and make edits
• Publish content, often 3–5 times a week per client, across Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, and more
• Keep clients informed and confident that their account is in good hands

Stay ahead

• Track what the platforms are rewarding right now, test it, and report what works
• Bring new ideas to clients before they ask
• Spot problems early and have a plan B ready

Help clients grow

Some of our clients need more than social. For example, you may support an author and speaker by:

• Researching conferences, podcasts, associations, and companies where they should speak
• Drafting speaking pitches and proposals
• Sending cold emails and making cold calls to book talks and events
• Tracking an outreach pipeline alongside your content work

WHO YOU ARE

• You have a sharp design eye. You notice color, type, crop, and pacing, and you know when something looks off and how to fix it.
• You love social media. You know the trends and understand why content works, not just that it did.
• You know marketing. You think about audience, goals, and results, not just how a post looks.
• You're proactive. You don't wait to be told the next move. You see the gap and fill it.
• You're comfortable without step-by-step instructions. You can turn a loose brief into finished work and know when a question is worth asking.
• You go above and beyond. You treat every client's brand like your own.
• You write clearly, from a caption to a cold email.
• You're organized enough to juggle several calendars, deadlines, and an outreach list at once.
• You're bold. Pitching a client for a stage or calling an event planner doesn't scare you.
• You're great with people, on camera and off.

WHAT YOU BRING

• Hands-on experience creating and managing social media content for clients, an employer, or your own accounts
• A portfolio of content you've made
• Strong skills in Canva and mobile video editing (CapCut, Instagram Edits, or similar)
• A recent iPhone and reliable transportation to client sites

Bonus points

• Experience with cold outreach, PR, or business development
• An eye for systems and workflows that save time
• Curiosity about AI tools that help you work faster
• A degree or coursework in marketing, communications, or a related field

THE DETAILS

• Schedule: Full-time, about 40 hours/week, with occasional evenings or weekends for events
• Location: Austin, TX. Remote, with in-person client shoots and events
• Pay: Starts at $20/hour, with performance-based raises as your efficiency, quality, and client load grow
• Commitment: At least one year, so you can see client launches through
• Start date: ASAP

What you get: real ownership of client accounts, hands-on experience across content, strategy, and business development, and the chance to grow with a young agency.
